Tom Daschle, the now-former Senate Minority Leader, lost his own Senate seat in the last election, but apparently he is still fundraising.

Before he narrowly lost his race to now-Sen. John Thune (R), Daschle operated one of the most active PACs on Capitol Hill. But now Daschle and his advisers want to marry the success and efficiency of the PAC with the massive fundraising operation of his re-election effort, which, while unsuccessful at the ballot box, blew away all expectations financially.
